Silver Shadow cabins and suites

MS Silver Shadow cabins are larger compared to the luxury cruise industry’s standards. Traditionally for Silversea, Shadow is an all-suite ship. The total number of cabin categories is 12. Passenger laundrettes (butler- and self-service laundry facilities) are located on decks 4, 6, and 8. Detergent is provided.

Most Silver Shadow suites feature a private balcony (100% oceanview). Handicap (wheelchair-accessible) cabins for disabled passengers are only 2 (#535 & 537, located on deck 5 near the lobby lift). There are 12 connecting rooms on the ship (6 pairs of suites convertible to a double suite, located on decks 4, 5, 6, and 7). The highest-grade 2-bedroom suites are also connecting.

Below is a review of Silver Shadow staterooms (suite accommodations), including furniture, amenities, and included (complimentary) services:

Each Silver Shadow suite features a large living area (walk-in closet, dining table, writing desk, mirrored vanity table), marble bathroom (separate bathtub and shower, robes, towels, slippers, luxury bath products), and bedroom (queen bed convertible to twins, luxury mattresses and Pratesi bedding sets, pillow menu, duvets).

The room service menu offers the same items as The Grill’s menu (poolside bar). Additionally, guests can order from the dining room’s menu (during its opening hours) via the complimentary butler service (course-by-course in-cabin dining).

Highest-grade suites (GS-Grand, RS-Royal, OS-Owner’s, SS-Silver, and MS-Medallion) are available in two cabin configurations – 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom (when booked in combination with an adjacent Veranda Suite). These suites feature floor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening to a large balcony (with patio furniture). Two-bedroom suites include a second veranda. The list of special amenities and services includes a whirlpool bathtub, daily newspaper, 2 hours of cabin phone usage (worldwide calls), complimentary laundry service (including dry-cleaning and pressing), en-suite dining (with afternoon canapés), Illy coffee maker, 3 TVs (SS and MS suites have 2 TVs), exclusive dining at the Officer’s table, and 1 complimentary dinner for two at the Le Champagne restaurant.

Vista Suites feature a large picture window instead of a balcony, and some include a sofa bed accommodating a third guest. Of the 32 Vista Suites, 8 have a shared (narrow and unfurnished) veranda.

Personal butler service includes dinner reservations, room service (en-suite dining), refrigerator stocking, laundry service, shoeshine, and packing/unpacking.
